alot can happen in 3 days--- but if you keep a tight clean ship and know your shit yeah if you got a water feeder--- I get to a point where my girls need h20 every other day but that is in soil and can be rectified if I were not going to be around---H2o can be reservoired for a couple of days and not get stagnate before she drinks it---too much and well ROT or Mold can do your crop in 24 hours "perfect conditions - of course" But yeah if you get it to where you know them---def leave the lights with a couple inch of leeway or create a chicken wire gaurd to not grow into light (use yoru imagination)

I agree with cali chronic. I left my ladies for a bachelor party fri-sun. My stuff is clean and have great homeostasis in my res/nutes/temps/Hum. Gave em like 4" 0f extra canopy space and all was well when I returned.

Man in my opinion if its soil you could always set up a wick type system and you might be okay, as stated before alot can happen in 3 days.. If your growing dwc i dont think its very smart especially when your just starting, if maybe you know exactly how your system ph fluctuates on a day by day basis and have gone through a few grows you might have a system worked out.. Your going to have to find a way to add water to your reservoir everyday, not to mention your going to have to find a way to keep your reservoir below 72 degrees or your going to have really bad root rot. Im no expert man, ive only done one dwc grow and am on my second and i check on my reservoir atleast twice a day if not more and i still lost a plant last grow, airtube got kinked and the plant drowned, only took about 6 or 7 hours.

If you decide to go with dwc id suggest General Hydroponics nuts Flora Bloom and Micro bloom, use the lucas formula, its simple.. Just google lucas formula.. Also your going to want to find something to fight against scum in your water, either Hygrozyme, H202, Or Bleach.. Make sure and do tons of research before you do any of those methods, especially clorox if you decide to go with it..

Superthrive is always a good additive as well..

My suggestion is go with soil if you have a fuller schedule..
